Local Search with Google Maps

STOP — Read before making any API call. enrichx402.com endpoints are not the same as each provider's native API. All paths use the format https://enrichx402.com/api/{provider}/{action}. You MUST either:
1. Copy exact URLs from the Quick Reference table below, OR
2. Run x402.discoverapiendpoints(url="https://enrichx402.com";) to get the correct paths

Guessing paths will fail with 405 errors (wrong path) or 404 errors (missing /api/ prefix).

Access Google Maps Places API through x402-protected endpoints.

Cost Optimization

Use Partial Tier When:

• Just need name, address, basic info
• Browsing/discovering options
• Initial search before drilling down

Use Full Tier When:

• Need reviews/ratings details
• Need atmosphere info (accessibility, etc.)
• Final decision-making

Efficient Patterns

1. Search partial, detail full:

- Text search (partial) to find places - Place details (full) for the one you care about

1. Batch searches:

- Combine filters to reduce calls - Use maxResultCount to limit results

1. Cache place IDs:

- Place IDs are stable - Re-fetch details only when needed
